Online wind-loading calculator launched
Synseal’s Formulus Wind Load Calculator has gone live on the Synseal website.
Primarily designed to be used by architects and other professional specifiers, Formulus is available free of charge to anyone wishing to make such calculations to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations.
The Formulus Calculator has been designed to be very simple to use, removing the need for complex mathematical modelling and will produce accurate results quickly, with printable results that may be included in reports, attached to drawings etc.
Just choose the preferred window style from a pre-determined list, enter a maximum of three dimensions, the approximate distance of the project from the coast, the approximate location on a map and the height/width of the proposed building. Press the calculate button on screen and Formulus will advise the required re-enforcement for the design.
Jim Clark, Synseal’s commercial manager, said: “This is another step by Synseal towards making it easier for our fabricators to win commercial work. Following on from our ISO 14001 accreditation and our NBS specification tool we are building up quite a package.”
